After Action Report
In a track meet, the Celtics pulled away from the Lakers 121-106. The breakneck pace played right into Celtics' hands. The Celtics came in with something to prove after a loss; the Lakers couldn't shake the cold spell. Whispers of a Lakers locker-room rift aren't helping.
What tipped it
- Lakers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Lakers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Celtics · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
